Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
When selecting the jade, the organizing committee prepared two boxes, one containing the names of the contestants and the other containing the number of the jade.
"Wang Shulong, please come forward and draw your jade." At this time, one of the judges reached into the box of contestants' names and drew the first person, and a young man in his twenties hurriedly stepped forward and pulled out a note from the other box.
"Jade number twenty-three." The judges looked at his number and read it out, and the staff on the side immediately took the jade with this number.
Seeing that the jade he extracted was only a piece of jade that was not much larger than the jade pendant, this Wang Shulong showed excitement on his face, if the jade was not too big, the energy he consumed was much smaller, and the design was also very easy.
It's just that the next contestant was not so lucky, and he chose a piece of jade that was half the size of a blue ball, and when he saw this jade, the contestant's face that was full of anticipation immediately showed paleness.
Looking at the faces of these contestants, several judges smiled and shook their heads, it seems that the level of these two people is not very good, otherwise, it would be impossible to be so afraid.
Zhou Xiulong and Zheng Lilin looked at Chen Yi not far away, but they no longer dared to step forward to mock and provoke.
The things they carved out in the last place were worlds different from Chen Yi's, and until now, they were like dreaming, and they couldn't believe that this would be carved by Chen Yi.
At this time, it was the turn of Shi Yu from the Tianjing Jade Factory, and the jade he drew was a piece of Hetian jade the size of two fists. But the level is not too high.
The Tianjing Jade Factory has prepared these jades, except for some extremely good ones that can be decided by the original carvers. The rest will be owned by the jade factory, which is probably also the benefit of the jade factory to take out so much jade materials.
Except for some of the weaker ones, plus a few of the good ones, and the rest of the medium ones, they are completely in their possession, even if the carving is a little worse, and after some trimming. Then its value is far higher than that of jade.
Shi Yu took this piece of Hetian jade, and when he returned to the crowd, his eyes looked towards Chen Yi, and his cold and calm eyes seemed to ignite a flame when he looked at Chen Yi.
With Chen Yi's eyesight. Naturally, he saw what Shi Yu wanted to express in his eyes, he smiled and nodded, since this Shi Yu was going to fight, how could he retreat, it depended on which of the two of them carved the ornaments better.
Shi Yu just walked down and read the word Chen Yi from the judges' mouths. Hearing his name, Chen Yi smiled, walked forward quickly, and drew a number from the box under the expectant gaze of several judges.
The judge looked at the jade. He hesitated, then frowned. Looking at Chen Yi, "No. 15 jade." ”
Soon, the staff moved the jade of the fifteenth, the size of three or four jade pendants, it looked like the size of a diary, this size of jade, not the largest of them, but its shape and characteristics are a little helpless.
This is a piece of Dushan jade produced in Beiyang, the Central Plains, this jade, as if two pieces of jade overlapped, in the middle of it, there is an extremely deep concave line, in addition, on the right side of the concave line, there is a raised jade, it seems that this whole piece of jade, in the mountain stone, after a huge squeeze, miserable bet.
Such a jade with obvious characteristics is very difficult to design, and it is much more difficult to carve than a flat piece of jade.
Seeing the jade selected by Chen Yi, some judges showed a worried look on their faces, this piece of jade, even if they were for a while, they could not determine the subject matter, let alone Chen Yi, a jade carving apprentice.
Wang Lao looked at this piece of jade and couldn't help but sigh, is this the heavens jealous of Chen Yi's ability.
And Zhou Xiulong and Zheng Lilin's faces once again showed schadenfreude, if it weren't for someone next to them, they would definitely laugh to celebrate, if this piece of jade, put it in their hands, it is estimated that they want to spend a day and a night, and they can't think of anything to carve, and now they are getting it by Chen Yi, the person they hate the most, their hearts are full of incomparable excitement, which not only eliminates their danger, but also puts the people they hate on the road to failure.
Chen Yi glanced at this piece of jade, and then used the primary jade carving technique, according to the characteristics on the jade, his mind constantly thought about what this piece of jade could be carved into, and his deep understanding of all kinds of antiques, coupled with the perception of jade carving, made him not lack any subject matter in his mind at all.
"Chen Yi Xiaoyou, please take your jade and return to the crowd." The judge in charge of the jade release, seeing Chen Yi's contemplative appearance, couldn't help sighing, and said softly, he estimated that Chen Yi's brain was already in a mess.
Chen Yi came back to his senses, a bright light flashed in his calm eyes, and he took the jade and said to President Yao next to him: "President Yao, after I carved this piece of jade, I want to buy it, I don't know if I can buy it." ”
Hearing Chen Yi speak, President Yao and the others thought that Chen Yi couldn't think of anything to carve, and asked if they could replace the jade, but the words that followed were completely unexpected to them, at this time, President Yao had a look of surprise in his heart, and asked quietly on his face: "Chen Yi Xiaoyou, have you already thought about how to carve the jade in your hand?" ”
"There's already an initial idea." Chen Yi looked at the jade in his hand with a mysterious smile on his face.
What, in such a short time, I have already had an idea, looking at the smile on his face, I am afraid that this idea is very perfect, and some of the contestants below showed a look of disbelief on their faces when they heard Chen Yi's words.
Some of them asked themselves if they got this piece of jade, it was estimated that it would take a day or two just to conceive and design, how could Chen Yi complete the idea in just a few minutes, and confidently wanted to buy the ownership of this piece of jade.
With a look of surprise on his face, Chairman Yao discussed with the others for a while, and then nodded, "Chen Yi Xiaoyou, originally only if your work is very good, you can have the right to buy, but since you gave up the right to buy that Panasonic jade card before, this piece of jade, no matter what you carve it into, has the right to buy, and in terms of the volume, weight and grade of this Dushan jade, its price will be nine thousand yuan." ”
President Yao looked at the jade in Chen Yi's hand and quickly estimated the price.
"Okay, President Yao, this is nine thousand yuan in cash." Chen Yi nodded, and without hesitation, he took out a wad of RMB from his wallet, took out ten, and handed the rest to Chairman Yao.
The Dushan jade of the Central Plains, although it is listed as the four famous jade in China along with Hetian jade, but in terms of price, it is far less than Hetian jade, some good Hetian jade has reached tens of thousands of grams per gram, and the good varieties of Dushan jade are only about 5,000 per kilogram.
It's just that Chen Yi is confident that the value of this piece of Dushan jade will be raised to be able to complete the task, that is, more than 100,000, of course, this requires very ingenious ideas and exquisite carving.
The jade prepared on the spot, the value is basically in the thousands, about 10,000 yuan, almost no more than 10,000 yuan, this is just a newcomer jade carving competition, there is no need to prepare too good jade, for apprentices who have learned jade carving for less than three years, with some good materials, it is simply a waste.
If the jade worth 9,000 yuan is replaced by jadeite or Hetian jade, its quality is far inferior to this Dushan jade, and it is precisely because of the very peculiar characteristics of this jade that Chen Yi has some ideas and confidence.
As for his own level, Chen Yi has a very good understanding of the countless exercises of learning jade carving, and he has the ability to complete this idea.
Seeing Chen Yi take out the money without hesitation, President Yao and the others were stunned, could this kid be so confident that he would carve this piece of jade, which was difficult for other contestants to get his hands on, into a jade carving with high value.
President Yao thought about it, stretched out his hand to take the money handed over by Chen Yi, and handed it to the staff on the side, what he just said was that no matter what kind of carving it is, Chen Yi has the right to buy, which shows that there is no need to trade now, after the carving, if the carving is very unsuccessful, Chen Yi will not have to waste money, if the carving is perfect, even if he did not agree before, an excellent work, Chen Yi will also have the right to buy.
This was also an opportunity he gave Chen Yi, but Chen Yi did not hesitate to take out the money, and the matter had come to this point, he had to accept it.
"Chen Yi Xiaoyou, this piece of jade, no matter what you carve it into, will be yours after the competition is shown to the public." After taking the money, Chairman Yao said with a solemn face.
Chen Yi nodded, "President Yao, I know." After saying that, he took his jade and walked into the crowd.
At this moment, there was a lot of discussion in the crowd, looking at this piece of jade, they really couldn't remember how to carve it, and they didn't understand why Chen Yi wasted money so much.
Only Shi Yu's eyes showed battle intent, Chen Yi was undoubtedly confident in carving this piece of jade into a beautiful jade, which was a wordless challenge for him, and he would not back down either.
After that, some of the remaining people also selected their own jade materials, and under the announcement of President Yao, this last jade carving competition officially began.
Chen Yi took his jade and came to the previous jade carving machine, "Hehe, Chen Yi, nine thousand yuan, just say send it, you are really atmospheric, just this piece of jade, do you want to increase the value tenfold like the jade plate yesterday, hehe, this is impossible." Zheng Lilin looked at the jade on Chen Yi's table, with a mocking look on his face.
